On yesterday's program we spoke with the former military veterans ombudsman, Col Pat Stogran and fmr Sgt. Major Barry Westholm about the class-action lawsuit brought by seven veterans of the Canadian military against the federal government for changing compensation for military veterans injured while in service. A lump sum payment has replaced the lifetime disability pension which was in place before all the political parties in Ottawa voted for this change in the so-called New Veterans Charter in 2006. Major Mark Campbell lost both of his legs to an improvised explosive device on June 2, 2008, in Afghanistan and is one of the seven former members of our military bringing forward the class-action suit.
Guest:
Major Mark Campbell. Speaks about his life, his frustration with the federal government and his determination to right the wrong delivered to wounded and injured veterans by the federal government which in court argues it has no 'social contract' with military veterans.
